Raise Tobacco
Orlando Record.

The cigar factory recently established
in our city viii have the effect of induc-
ing our farmers to plant tobacco and
make a feature of raising this profitable
plant, the industry arising from it con-
tributing millions to our commerce. 1t
Is said by those who know and have OBJ
tanned their knowledge by experience
that South Florida is Just the place to
raise good tobacco, and that il can be
made a remunerative crop on our sandy
land by good culture and fertilizing. 1t
is claimed that our climate is admirably
adapted to its successful growth; hence
the soil can readily be made to yield an
immense product by proper application
of the constituent elements To the ground
where not alreapy sufficiently fertile.
Our farmers can all have their patch
and to those who know how to raise and
cure it, this factory will gladly purchase
it of them; and when the amount pro-
duced Is in excess of the demand there Is
less than one hundred miles to an i'm
mense establishment for its manufac-
ture. Should our country gentlemen have
q surplus, it will induce the building and
operating of larger factories in Orlando,
and assist in making it what it is des-
tined to be-a manufacturing center as
well as a wholesale point for this region
We urge the attention of every owner
OF a piece of land to try the experiment
of raising tobacco. We have some more
seed at this office that any one who will
plant il can have a paper of.

FLORIDA ITEMS.

The farmers of Levy County, says the
Bronson Times, are in better shape finan-
cially, than those of any other section Of
Florida. Money, it is true, Is a little
scarce, but in point of hOme-raised pro-
visions, the horn of plenty abounds.
Green Cove Spring: All vegetable life
is growing with a vigor unequalled in
any former season Usually the orange
tree is vigorous in its development either
in making wood or in making fruit, but
rarely in growing much wood or much
fruit in the same season. But, this year,
the trees seem to be performing a double
duty, and while the profusion of blooms
is very unusual, the growth of wood Is
very rapid.

growth of live oaks, water oaks, magnC-

Memphis, for instance, the Oil Trust
Company would Immediately advance
the price for seed, SO that his oil would
cost him more than now. The Oil Trust

the truth is that Armour started out to
bulldoze somebody, and he ran up
against people just about twenty times
more powerful than himself"
The Oil Trust Company talks big, and
it undoubtedly is big monopoly. 1t
it says pretty plainly to Armour, if the
above is true, that if ne attempts to

Opoly will ruin his business. When it
says that to Armour, it also says in effect
to the co ton planters. that they must

the Oil Trust chooses 30 pay for it or not
sell it at all. 1t also says to the consun-
ers OF cotton seed products that in future
they will have to pay for these products
exactly what the Oil Trust chooses tO
ask for them.

armed so much about the price he will
have to pay for cotton seed Oil as he is

The Battle Of the MillOnaires.


There is the hveliest kind of a news
paper discussion going ON over the ques-
ton whether the Armour syndicate
intends to build oil mills in the South,
as has been stated in the dispatches
lately. Some Of the papers say that
there il no doubt that the Armour syndi-
cate is in earnest about the matter, while
others insist that the only thing that
Armour is trying to do is to get cotton
seed oil at his own price as an adulterant
in his lard business.
There is no doubt that the Armour
syndicate has secured charter in New
Jersey for a company. and that there is
no question about getting the necessary
amount of capital with which to build
oil mills, but there In no reason for think
ing that it is not vet absolutely certain
that orders will he given for the building
of mills. Mr.. III. o. Armour. speaking
for his brother, who is the head Of the
firm of Armour & CO., said, in New
York. on Monday 1T is our purpose to
get cotton oil as cheaply as We can II
it can be produced cheaper than we can
buy it we will produce it. The Ameri-
can cotton Oil Trust named a price at
which they would sell us oil, hut this
price we have refused to pay. We then
offered them a price at which we would
buy oil from them. This offer they have
declined"
The American Cotton Oil Trust Com
pany is quoted as treating as nonsense
the published statements that there is a
movement, engineered by Armour, to
engage in competing with it in the
manufacture of cotton seed oil. A lead
ing member of the company is reported
to have made the following statement
within the last few days: The Cotton
Seed Oil Trust Company manufactures
about 800. 900 barrels Of oil a year. Mr..
Armour uses about $1,000 barrels. He
has simply adopted bulldozing tactics to
get his oil cheaper. 1t is true that the
Oil Trust is still negotiating with him.

The death of Capt. James b. Eads may
be the death, also. of his Tehuantepec
ship railway project. The project was
in an advanced state and the plans he
has left may be so clear that the civil en-
uineers educated under him in his other
great enterprises may be able to carry
them on. His plan would have shorten
ed immensely the distance to the Pacific
coast of the Americas from North At
lantic ports. 1t only waited the indorse-
ment of Congress to secure plenty Of cap
ital in England for its advancement, and
the kill to grant him an appropriation for
the project failed in the last Congress
only because of the press of business at
tending the last days of the session. Had
the road been built and proved a success
the railroads passing through Florida
would have shared with the roads to
New Orleans in much of the great
traffic that would have been diverted to
the Tehauntepec channel. The traffic be-
tween Australia and England and be-
tween the South American ports of the
Pacific and all Atlantic ports would have
followed the Tehuantepec course in pre-
ference to either the route around Cape
Horn or through San Francisco.

DR.. VIM. G. Cox, of Detroit, is ac-
cused of criminal malpractice. He Is a
prominent member of Damon Lodge, n.
OF p, of Detroit, which voted money to

DIR. Cox has been tried on similar charges
before, it is said. He confessed to coro-
ner Lansing, a member of the same
lodge that he had been attending this
particular case. and Lansing so stated on
the witness stand, though in doing SO
Cox claims that Lansing violated a
knightly pledge of secresy. The case
has excited great deal Of feeling in
Michigan, which boasts of the finest body

does not repudiate DIR. Cox, may with
drawals, from the order many occur.
